Sonic Bloom

Sonic Bloom is a playful interactive art installation at the foot of Seattle’s Space Needle and a defining entry sculpture to the Pacific Science Center. 5 giant solar flowers absorb the sun’s energy and express it at night with patterned LED lighting and in the daytime with a chorus of interactive harmonic tones triggered by people’s movement around each flower.

Created by local artist Dan Corson and commissioned by the Pacific Science Center and our friends in the Conservation Resources division at Seattle City Light.

It’s free to the public, so swing on by and enjoy the flowers.

WE MOVED. THEN WE WERE MOVED.

Somelab now calls Orcas Island home!

Shortly after arriving on the island (not for a vacation this time!), we read about the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program. They were trying to raise $11,000 to fund next year’s efforts. If they made their goal, the funds would be matched by 11 generous islanders. But the clock was ticking. They needed to meet the goal by the end of November. We were so inspired by them and what they are doing for our new community—we were happy to put them over the top.

While we frequently head back to Seattle to see clients and friends, we love having visitors. So come check out our new studio and see what a change of scenery can do for inspiration.
